Happy Tuesday. I had a busy weekend full of some fun and also organizing. Hubby and I went to ikea for the first time over the weekend and i can see why everyone loves the place. We are updating our home before baby gets here. Were working on living room first.

I decided i dont want to drive you all crazy with pregnancy post every second but i wanted to share how i have been surviving my pregnancy so far. I am currently 27 weeks in my third trimester like where is the time.

My second trimester was the best thats your best time and moments, energy is up and all.

For most part ive been good. Now lets talk about clothing.

Now we all know maternity clothing can be expensive especially if your not going to use it again.

Now i will say i have purchase some items that have been working good for me and didn’t cost too much.

Maternity leggings

Now not all are the best and some are pricy but i was able to get me a few from kohls and target and they were inexpensive but comfortable. I also purchased leggings from plus size department and that worked well for me too.

Clothes

Currently i sized up in my clothing. I never enjoyed wearing tights clothing all the time so most of myclothing before pregnancy was oversized or loose fit.

Dresses are great to wear as they are comfortable and easy to throw on as well.

Shopping your Closet

Most of my items such as cardigans and dresses have been saving me especially since im working full time.

What are some your favorite non maternity clothing. Love to hear your thoughts.

Happy Monday,hope all is well with everyone. It has been so long since i blogged and i missed you all so much. Alot has been happening and one of those is that myself and my husband are expecting our first child in july. We are so excited, thankful and blessed.

If you told me a year ago i was going to be a mom i would have said yeah right lol. Don’t get me wrong im excited but im such a planner when it comes to my life but god shows up and says other wise.

My first trimester was hard i was sick almost everyday and made ir rough to go to work everyday or even go out.

Now that im in my second trimester im looking forward to sharing with you my maternity fashion style and what has been working for me and what does not. Thank you for all the well wishes that you have given me and look forward to sharing more. Until next time.

It has been so long since i bought youguys a style post but i have missed you all and thank you for continuing to rock me. For the new year i have some really exciting news to share but lets get into todays style post.
*This is a sponsor post but all thoughts and opinions are my own *
If you know me you know i love hats as they are apart of my signature style. So when Scala teamed up with me for their lovely and fashionable hat’s. I was so excited.
Scala has a lovely selection of affordable hat’s that are stylish without breaking the bank. The boulce and chain fisherman hat in navy i adore. The detailing of it was amazing that i can dress up and down.
For this look i dress it casual wearing some over the knee boots, jeans and cardigan. It was a perfect look just to hang out with friends or casual date night.
Tell me are you a hat lover like me i love to hear your thoughts.

Who does not love getting a new car especially when you can get it at a reasonable price.

When me and my husband were looking for a new car, we knew what was in our budget and what we can afford.

So when searching for the right car we went through different searches such as make and model. With car.com you you can use their site to obtain pricing on the lastest cars and it will provide you with the pricing and possible payment options. It will direct you of different car dealerships you can go to for further pricing.

This was beneficial for me and my husband when looking for our car. We were able to obtain a 2017 honda accord at our price point.

I was extremely excited and happy as we were able to get the car we want at the price we wanted.

When looking for the car you want make sure you do your research as well as negotiating as you can actually get better deals at time when letting the dealership know your price point and budget.

Happy friday. I hope everyone had a great work week. Mines has been crazy long and busy but i wanted to share with you a recent partnership with the mills at jersey gardens i did which was amazing.

I can not believe we are almost through with the month of September and my bday is approaching soon (october 8). Now the last time i checked i havent post since may so i basically took the summer off lol but it was much needed although i still posted on instagram. I realized i connected more by just posting and not physically actually writing a blog post.

I also been working on my new business of being a jewelry consultant with tracilynn fashion jewelry and i have,been loving it although i will not lie it is alot of work like seriously it is.

I am also growing as a person where i no longer need the validation of my other peers in the industry and just rock to my own beat and be me.

I also learned that everyone is not your friend and i have accepted it and moved on. So i have to say my long extended break helped me to get where i am today.

So i will leave with some of my favorite post from the summer. Until next time.

Happy monday. I wanted to share with you all a new business venture i decided to step out on . I love accessories and believe a great statement pieces especially a bold statement necklace.

So when the opportunity came along to join the tracilynn family i knew it was a go. Now what i love is that her jewlery is unique and affordable. It will not turn and will be a show stopper.

So if interested shop my direct link below and if your interested in partner with or learning more about the business as well as making extra cash. You can contact me by email fashionicondrea@gmail.com.

Happy Friday. Hope everyone had a great week so far. Mines has been so busy with work and just being productive. Part of being busy is always why I make sure to know the time so that I can be present in the moment and enjoy. So when the friends from at Jord reached out and sent me this lovely watch . I could not resist.

Jord makes their watches out of various woods such as Maple to Zebrawood. The watch I choose is made out of zebra wood. I must say I am so in love with it because it can defiantly be worn on a everyday basis that allows you to step out and be seen. What makes this so great is that there are watches for both men an women.

So I teamed up with Jord to do an amazing giveaway which is so simple. All you have to do is click the link provided below give your email and that it is it. One reader gets the to win $100 towards their watch of their choosing. Do not get discourage for every person that enters, you will receive a $25 off towards your purchase. So I see it as a win win for everyone.
